Beginning south of Pittsburgh and winding its way 150 miles north to Erie, PA, Route 8 passes near an amazing number of historic sites.  From prehistoric glaciers to space age storage vaults, this road has connections to every era of American History.  Take a drive through history with Forbes, Perry, Drake, and Earhart and visit actual places that were part of their stories.
